What are the differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler?
The fuel is necessary for the boiler operation. The fuel choice can also affect the overall boiler operating efficiency and the pollution emission of the boiler. What are the differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler?
The differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler
1) There is a big difference in the furnace heating surface between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler.
2) The oil-fired boiler is usually equipped with a burner while the coal-fired boiler general uses the combustion chamber for coal combustion.
3) The oil-fired boiler has a high degree of automation and intelligence. It is equipped with the PLC control system which can set the boiler parameters with one button. The coal-fired boiler has a high degree of mechanization but some one needs the manual feeding.
4) The oil-fired boiler has small size and has no geographical restrictions as long as there is an oil storage tank. The coal-fired boiler needs to have the extra space for coal storage and deal with the slag after coal combustion by transportation.
